Rabbit is not very popular in the US but yes, I've actually cooked and
eaten it. When I still lived in west Tennessee one supermarket sold it
cut up and frozen, like packaged chicken. Come to think of it, it
pretty much tasted like chicken.

Jill

I agreed. Had rabbit once long time ago. it tasted like chicken.

There are also frogs legs in the market.
Again probably for the French Canadians.
I had frog legs once in a Chinese restaurant and
just love it. Have to figure out how to cook them. A cooking competition
on the Food channel tonight includes frog leg in an appetzer dish.

Don't think I could do frog. It was hard enough trying to eat
shark's fin soup in Hong Kong. Reminded me of the joke about a guy
who bets he can drink a mouthful of the contents of a spittoon.

Cream of Kangaroo tail soup tasted like cream of mud soup.

When I was a child, and spent my summers in New Jersey,
our neighbors skinned turtles and made Turtle soup.
No thanks, but I did keep one shell.
Then, when my daughters were small I cooked rabbit...once.
They caught on that it was "Bunny" like the two pet bunnies we had in the
back yard, so never again.

The only time I had frog legs was when I was a kid. My grandparents
owned a small farm with a reservoir on it. My brother and I used
sticks, yarn and bent straight pins to "fish" for frogs on the
reservoir. I caught one. I had to hold it while my Dad chopped its
head off. Then my grandmother fried the legs, and I ate them. They
were tough and rubbery. It was probably an old frog.

I've had kangaroo filet with a plum and chili sauce. It was probably
the most delicious meat I've ever eaten. I've also had emu nuggets,
which were okay, but nothing special. I was told that crocodile tastes
like chicken, and it really does. It's much like the white meat, only
more dense and chewy. Camel steak isn't bad, but I prefer kangaroo.
The secret with kangaroo is to make sure it isn't overcooked. The first
time I had it, the kebabs were overdone, and I found it tough and chewy.
Kangaroo should never be cooked more than medium. Some restaurants
won't cook it more than that.

We didn't have pet rabbits, so we didn't have that problem. However,
the one time my mother served us rabbit, we found it very greasy and
unappetizing.

I had turtle soup once in a restaurant in New Orleans.
Didn't leave me with either a good or bad impression.
Just think it was pretty exotic.

Just watched 4 chefs cooked frog legs in a cooking competition on TV.
Found out that frogs are not easy to cook. They were undercooked
or rubbery. So I won't attempt to cook them. Just wish I can find a
restaurant that serves them. I sure have fond memories of eating
frog legs as a kid.

I've had kangaroo filet with a plum and chili sauce. It was probably
the most delicious meat I've ever eaten. I've also had emu nuggets,
which were okay, but nothing special.

I had ostriches dumpling and ostriches congee in Vancouver restaurants.
They are O.K. Just something different.
But they are off the menu now.

I love shark fin soup.
The real ones ( not canned) can be quite pricey.
But now there are attempts to ban it in many cities.

I guess you don't do escargot either.
The first time I tasted escargot was in Paris.
I had escargot many times since then.
But none measure up to the ones I had in Paris.

The soup had a strong "gamy" flavor, and that's what turned me off. I
think it must have been made from scratch rather than canned or
processed because this was in the Royal Hawaiian Hotel in Waikiki.
True with most if not all game meats, although I once had venison in
Glasgow with a blackcurrant sauce, and it was delicious. I'm fairly
certain the sauce masked a lot of the gamy-flavor. I like
blackcurrant jam or preserves!

I've only had escargo once. It was okay, but I wasn't impressed. I'd
wanted to try it for a long time, but was put off by the high price.
Now I know I don't want to spend that kind of money for it when there
are lots of things I like better.
